I know the top teams play on National T.V on Christmas each year.What about the world champs?I think it would be cool to spend 3 hours on Xmas in the garden.But since they play every year around Christmas-New Years on the West Coast Im thinking they will play at the Lakers on Christmas day

Yeah, I think this makes sense.  Lakers-Celtics or Cavs-Celtics would both be marquis matchups for the league.

Lakers-Celtics from Staples on Christmas seems like a sure bet.

Ah, perhaps too much sense for Stern to do it?  Ya never know with this league.   :)


I do think this should and will be the matchup.  It would make for some outstanding Christmas ratings.

Last year our matchup against the Lakers was much closer to Turkey day than Xmas.

It's too early to tell, but I'd wager that the Celtics will be playing *someone* on National TV Christmas day.
God bless and good night!

Cs almost always start a West Coast roadtrip the day after Christmas. They'll just start it a day earlier this year. In Los Angeles. And not against the Clippers. I already can't wait.

That is pretty cool.  I'd hadn't even thought about the whole Christmas Day game angle.

I think you'll definitely see the Celtics in a marquee match-up that day.

...and due to the spanking they'll
receive, NO shorts for the 2nd half.
